I DON'T OWN ANYTHING SO DON'T SUE ME I'M JUST TELLING EVERYBODY HOW THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED SINCE SEASON 3 & BEYOND

One Tree Hill

My Version of Season 3... But when Brooke comes back she doesn't just 'date' Lucas she wants to just be friends with him... Why? Because during the summer Peyton talked to her telling her she had major feelings for Lucas. So Brooke immediately put her feelings aside so Peyton and Lucas could be together. But Peyton has been telling Brooke that she knows Lucas has feelings for her so that way Brooke wouldn't think that Lucas wanted to be with her anymore. Lucas has tried contacting Brooke but can't get through, while busy helping Peyton with finding her birth mother. Haley James-Scott is back in town and Chris Keller has followed her! Brooke and Haley are now living together and Nathan is having a hard time adjusting to having his wife back. Meanwhile a certain face that everybody thought was gone shows back up again...

Chapter Sixteen: With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We slept

Brooke Davis was now apprehensively walking into the school afraid of the looks that would be given to her. Her head was casually down at the floor and she blushed at the wolf whistle she got. A hand came onto her back and the whistling stopped immediately, looking up it was Lucas.

"Just because you stopped that guy doesn't mean I forgive you." She said stubbornly, she didn't admit that it was nice to have him touch her again. It also hurt, it hurt to think that he touched Peyton like this. At least once.

Lucas sighed and shook his head. "I'm not doing this to make you forgive me." He told her softly. "I just wanted a chance to talk to you." He told her. "So where are we going?"

Brooke sighed and pointed down the hall. "I wanna go to the library. I need to get some last minute project stuff done for first period."

Lucas nodded and steered her towards the library, happy beyond speaking because she was actually talking to him. Not just bitching, which he wouldn't blame her for, but she was just speaking to him.

Soon enough Lucas found himself sitting in the back of the empty library with Brooke as she was sitting at the computer.

"So before we start, question. Why is Keith here?" Brooke asked. She was shocked to see who was hugging her when she got out of her car this morning. She loved Keith, was almost like her father.

"Oh, well Keith got into a drunk driving accident when he was younger. Some health teacher wanted him to come in to tell everybody about the affects of it."

Brooke nodded and then looked at him. "Alright, so tell me whatever it is you wanted to talk to me about before." She said impatiently while she began printing out her report.

Lucas opened his mouth before they heard "Code Red, Code Red." Over the speakers.

Brooke looked over at Lucas frowning. "Drill?" She asked while standing up and walking towards the door.

Lucas stood up and walked after her. "Brooke, I don't think it's a drill." He told her as she neared the door.

Brooke laughed and looked over to Lucas like he was being dramatic. "Chill, Luke I just wanna see if anybody is really out there." She told him smiling a bit and opened the door and walked outside. She looked down the hallway and was shocked to see Jimmy Edwards staring at her with a gun in his hand.

"Brooke Davis." He said staring at her and began to walk towards her.

Brooke looked at him and attempted to put on a friendly smile but couldn't quite manage it with a gun pointed her.

"Remember when we were in gym. And apparently I was running to slow? You pushed me down, making me break my ankle? Then the rest of your crew laughed at me and called me fat." He told her angrily. He loaded the gun and pointed his at her leg. "You'll know how it feels."

He shot her leg and watched her fall down, with a sick smile on his face. He was watching with some sick pleasure watching one of the people who made his life hell fall at his feet.

Lucas ran towards the door after hearing the gun shot. He looked out the open door and found Brooke laying on the floor with blood pouring out of her leg. Lucas watched as Jimmy walked down the hallway holding the gun in his hand and looked in each of the classrooms, as if trying to see who else he could make pay for what they did to him.

Brooke was trying not to cry but her leg was burning. Lucas leaned down and picked her up bridal style trying not to feel the wetness of her blood fill onto the sleeve of his sweatshirt.

"Lucas." She whimpered, he moved her towards the library and laid her against the bookcase.

"Pretty Girl." Lucas whispered as he brushed her hair back behind her ear. "You're gonna be just fine." He said more for himself than her.

Brooke sighed and looked over at Lucas. "Boys suck." She told him in a matter of fact tone.

Lucas chuckled and kissed her forehead. "You can insult me all you want if that'll make you feel better." He told her just needing her to stay awake.

"Well it doesn't." She told him mad about that. "You'll never understand this feeling."

Lucas frowned. "I think I do. Chris Keller. Name ring a bell?"

Brooke glared at him. "Yeah well, Chris Keller also wasn't your best friend now was he?" She snapped at him, feeling dizzy she put a hand to her forehead.

Instantly Lucas' angered vanished and worry filled its place. "You okay?" He asked softly rubbing her head.

She looked up at him and shook her head with a laugh. "Yeah Luke, just fucking great. I have a bullet in my leg, I'm with my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me twice with my best friend." She laughed bitterly as a tear escaped her eye. "God, my leg fucking hurts." Brooke said and held her knee.

Lucas sighed and took off his sweatshirt and wrapped it tightly just above her bloody ankle. "This should help stop the bleeding a bit." He told her softly, he didn't need her getting more upset than she already was.

Brooke stared at him as he did it. "Am I such a horrible person?" She asked sadly. "I mean I never thought I was that bad of a person." She told him upset.

Lucas sat up more and kissed her pale cheek. "No, you're not a horrible person. In fact, I think you're the best person I ever met. And all of us sometimes make the wrong choices." He told her honestly.

She sighed and rested her head against his shoulder. "You know it might just be the lack of blood flow to my brain but if you want to be with Peyton I won't be bitter or mad about it." Brooke said quietly.

Lucas shook his head quickly, he never got how somebody like Brooke could be so damn insecure. "I don't want Peyton, Brooke. I want you."

"Yeah you have a funny way of showing affection and love." Brooke told him, trying not to think of her ankle, it freaking hurt. "God, I think this is the first time you're really here for me. And that's only cause you followed me here."

"This isn't the only time." Lucas told her frowning.

Brooke lifted her head from his shoulder and raised her brows at him. "And give me one time you were there for me?" She asked like she already knew the answer.

Lucas tilted his head at her. "Who let you stay with them when you thought you had to move?" He asked her. "And I don't know about you, but I think I did damn good making sure that door and your new door is red." He told her smiling a bit.

Brooke smiled and looked away. "Alright, one thing. Now how many times have you been there for Peyton?"

Lucas frowned and this time he looked away. More times than he could count. Suddenly he could see why Brooke was so quick to say he wanted Peyton more. He loved Peyton, he did. But he loved his Pretty Girl so much more.

Brooke nodded, knowing he wouldn't admit to it. She looked up at him and his stare was hard at the floor. "There is always going to be something between you two and I don't know if I can ever understand it. You know I'm not even sure I want to, all's I know is, is that there is definitely something going on between you guys."

Lucas shook his head and looked at the wounded brunette, she was hurt in more way than one. "Nothing is going on between us, at all. I don't even know how many more way to say it." Which was apparently the wrong thing to say.

"Oh, so I should just believe you without hesitation after you sleep with her and after you kiss her that you don't want her?" Brooke asked while glaring at him. "You are unbelievable. God, with how you two are you guys deserve each other."

Lucas just stared at her. Of course he didn't think it would be that easy but sometimes he wished that it was. That she was just that easy. But she wasn't, and that's why he loved Brooke Davis.

"God Luke, my leg hurts." She whimpered looking over at him with unshed tears in her eyes.

His heart broke at the sight of her trying not to cry. "I know Brooke, I know. We're gonna get out of here soon and then you are going to get all fixed up and I'm going to go back to annoying you so much to forgive me, okay?" He said trying desperately not to let his worry show. "Everything is going to go back to normal."

Brooke smiled lazily at him. "Will you grovel at my feet and bring me flowers and chocolate?" She asked teasingly.

Lucas grinned at her. "Of course. What type of depressed ex-boyfriend wouldn't?"

"Are you really my ex?" She asked rhetorically. "I mean we never really even broke up I just left."

A glimmer of hope was shown to Lucas. "Well, if I can have a say, I do not want to break up." He told her seriously.

Brooke sighed sadly and played with his fingers. "I want to, I mean I should want to. It's pretty pathetic for me to still want to be with you after all you did to me, huh?" She asked upset. "I really want to hate you Luke, but I can't."

"Pretty Girl, I don't want you to hate me. Please. I didn't even kiss her Brooke. She kissed me." He pleaded with her.

"Yeah and you just sat there while Peyton Sawyer, the girl of your dreams, kissed you?" Brooke asked him and then laughed at the thought. "That's funny."

Just then a deafening shot sounded through the school. Lucas and Brooke both looked to the door and were tense as they were too see if the psycho would enter, but after several moments of silence and nothing happened, they relaxed.

"Do you think he shot somebody?" Brooke asked drowsily slumping against Lucas.

Lucas shrugged and looked down at her. "I don't know, but you gotta stay awake okay?"

Brooke's pale face frowned. "I don't wanna." She whined and snuggled up to him. "Cuddle with me."

Lucas frowned down at the brunette and cursed God because she was doing this to him now. "Brooke, hey come on, you need to stay awake."

Picking up her head up, Brooke glared at him. "You know for somebody who broke my heart, you're certainly asking a lot of me."

Lucas smiled sadly and touched where her heart was. "I'm sorry I hurt it, but I can fix it if you'd let me."

Brooke looked at him and pouted. "Why should I let you when you were the one who hurt it?" She asked as her eyes began to droop slightly.

Lucas picked her head up by her chin. "Because I want to make things right, and I know I've asked for a chance before but dammit Brooke give me another one."

"Last one?" She asked him as her eyes began to close.

Lucas smiled a little but then it fell when he saw her eyes close. "No, Brooke, you need to stay awake." He told her urgently shaking her head gently.

Brooke wanted to obey him, because even she knew this wasn't a good idea. But she was so tired and sleep just felt too good right now.

"No, Pretty Girl, come on I love you. You're gonna leave me here alone, right now?" He asked playing on her pride.

It was smart she'd give him that, but that was the last she heard when blackness surrounded her.
